DPV Specifications: The [DPV] is the core specification within the DPV family, with the following extensions: Personal Data [PD], Locations [LOC], Risk Management [RISK], Technology [TECH] and [AI], [JUSTIFICATIONS], [SECTOR] specific extensions, and [LEGAL] extensions modelling specific jurisdictions and regulations. A [PRIMER] introduces the concepts and modelling of DPV specifications, and [GUIDES] describe application of DPV for specific applications and use-cases. The Search Index page provides a searchable hierarchy of all concepts. The Data Privacy Vocabularies and Controls Community Group (DPVCG) develops and manages these specifications through GitHub. For meetings, see the DPVCG calendar.
Contributing: The DPVCG welcomes participation to improve the DPV and associated resources, including expansion or refinement of concepts, requesting information and applications, and addressing open issues. See contributing guide for further information.
[LEGAL-EU] representing (only) the European Union, with each Member State within the EU/EEA region being defined in its own separate namespace and extension to allow modelling both EU and Country-level laws and knowledge without conflicts:
Laws are represented as instances of dpv:Law, and are associated with their jurisdictions using the [LOC] taxonomy and dpv:hasJurisdiction relation. The webpage for the law, if available, is indicated using foaf:homepage, and the temporal start and end if available, is represented using dct:temporal relation with an instance of time:ProperInterval.
Authorities are represented as instances of dpv:Authority, and are associated with specific jurisdictions using dpv:hasJurisdiction. The law which the authorities enforce is indicated by dpv:hasApplicableLaw. The webpage for the authority, if available, is indicated using foaf:homepage.
Adequacy decisions representing agreements between jurisdictions such as for free flow of data, are currently only defined in [GDPR]. They are represented as instances of eu-gdpr:AdequacyDecision, and are associated with relevant jurisdictions using dpv:hasJurisdiction. The start and end, if available, is represented using dct:temporal with an instance of time:ProperInterval. The webpage, if available, is indicated using foaf:homepage.
DPV uses the following terms from [RDF] and [RDFS] with their defined meanings:
rdf:type to denote a concept is an instance of another concept
rdfs:Class to denote a concept is a Class or a category
rdfs:subClassOf to specify the concept is a subclass (subtype, sub-category, subset) of another concept
rdf:Property to denote a concept is a property or a relation
The following external concepts are re-used within DPV:
A. Future Work
Issue 171: Provide consolidated list of legal basis, rights, and other relevant concepts for each jurisdiction rightstodolegal
E.g. in EU, there are rights, legal basis, etc. in GDPR, DGA, and so on. Provide a consolidated list of these in the EU extension (/legal/legal-eu.ttl) for convenience of use. A bunch of SPARQL queries over extensions should be able to do this.
